ABSTRACT:
In a marine vessel for transporting liquefied gas at cryogenic temperatures, an improved support structure is provided for mounting the cargo tank in the hull of the vessel. The support structure includes a two-piece structure with a first upper annular skirt piece attached to and depending from the cargo tank at about the equatorial region. A second skirt piece is attached to and extends upward from the hull of the vessel and is proportioned to be received in a crotch formed between the outer surface of the tank and the upper skirt piece. The skirt pieces are mechanically joined to secure the tank within the hull.
